Carve a turkey and set aside the turkey bones. Turkey bones that appear to be void of any turkey, when used to make soup, like a miracle seem to find the remaining turkey that cannot be seen, and fill the soup with pieces of meat that can make another meal.

Steps

1

Use a large crockpot. Pour in two cans of turkey broth or chicken broth along with a package of frozen vegetables for soup; these can be found in the freezer department of any food market. Add a can of of sliced mushrooms along with the liquid.

2

Split the turkey breast bone in half, and if needed, in half again. Add the remainder of the bones. If there is skin on them, add that also. The seasonings from the skin adds to the flavor.

3

Season to taste, and add some fresh, washed cut up parsley to the soup.

4

Add about 1/2 cup of uncooked alphabet noodles. Cover the crock pot, and allow to cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, timed after it starts boiling.

5

Make sure that before serving to lift each bone with a slotted spoon and carefully remove any remaining turkey meat from the bones, so that they fall into the soup. When you are convinced that the bones are now bare, lift the bones out of the soup, and throw them away. Skim the soup with the slotted spoon to make sure that no little bones remain in the soup.

Tips

This recipe should make about 6 cups of soup. If you need more then double the cans of broth, and use 2 packages of vegetables for soup......That is what they are called....do not use only mixed vegetables...
